Luke Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Review
Solid cab that needs some time, but is drinking well with food. The fruit is shy, but present, and a bit masked by drying, young tannins. It will soften over time, but this wine is made for drinking over the next few years. Does all this sound confusing? I know, I’m confused too. But it’s good. I’m thinking for this price you can def get away with a steak night or weeknight dinner in general. Maybe even a dinner party.
